Projects in development

Mari and the Food Forest

A hybrid short film combining stop-motion animation and documentary. It’s a participatory project created with children from Artajona, focusing on ecological education and rural innovation.

The film connects agroecology, the land, and children’s creativity, generating an artistic and educational experience simultaneously.
